The King of Games

Polo is a dynamic equestrian sport which has been played for centuries throughout Asia and the Middle East. The British introduced the sport around the world.

ABOUT POLO

The equestrian team sport is usually played outside on a field. In organized competition, this field is 300 yards long and 160 yards wide. During the game, four players mounted on horseback attempt to pass the ball down-field to hit it through the goal and score.

AN IDEAL GAME OF RAJA'S

A polo match is well worth attending, since things can get quite exciting, with horses pounding up and down the field displaying incredible feats of agility and strength.

POLO GAMES & RULES

On a full sized grass field, each team has four people. In an enclosed arena usually played in winter, each team has three people. The rules are common sense based on the player having “right of way” in order to eliminate danger.

ROYAL FAMILY OF RAJASTHAN

LATE HIS HIGHNESS

MAHARAJA SAWAIMAN SINGH JI

Sawai Man Singh II ( Mor Mukut Singh; 21 August 1912–24 June 1970 ) was the last ruling Maharaja of Jaipur State belonging to Kachwaha clan of Rajputs. He ruled the princely state between 1922 and 1949, when the state acceded unto the Dominion of India. Thereafter, he held office as Rajpramukh of Rajasthan between 1949 to 1956. In later life, he served as Ambassador of India to Spain. He was also a notable sportsman and celebrated polo player.

Sawai Man Singh II, was born Mor Mukut Singh, the second son of Sawai Singh (Thakur Sahib) of Isarda by his wife Sugan Kunwar from Kotla (Uttar Pradesh). His father was a nobleman belonging to the Kachwaha clan of Rajputs. Mor Mukut grew up in the dusty, walled township of Isarda, a chief Thikana of the Rajawat sub-clan which lies between the towns of Sawai Madhopur and Jaipur in present-day Rajasthan. His family was connected to the ruling house of Jaipur and Kotah (where his father's sister was married). The then-Maharaja of Jaipur, Sawai Madho Singh II, had been born the son of a former Thakur of Isarda and had been adopted into the ruling family of Jaipur.

Upon obtaining his ruling powers, Man Singh embarked on a program of modernization, creating infrastructure and founding numerous public institutions that would later result in Jaipur being selected the capital of Rajasthan. Although the Indian princes had relinquished their ruling powers, they remained entitled to their titles, privy purses and other privileges until the adoption of the 26th amendment to the Constitution of India on 28 December 1971. Accordingly, Man Singh II remained Maharaja of Jaipur until his death.
